Safe, natural, and effective: MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a rich form of sulphur which plays a key role in your horse’s joint health. Naturally present in the body, it is crucial to the production of joint-protecting collagen and cartilage; and in encouraging the health and elasticity of the connective tissues surrounding equine joints.Boosting the body's natural inflammatory response, MSM is a great choice if you’re looking for a horse supplement to naturally target joint comfort and inflammation; and is a popular choice when it comes to helping horses to stay comfortable and active for this very reason.MSM can be useful in horses showing signs of sulphur deficiency; can help with conditions such as hock arthritis; and is often used to relieve joint pain in ageing and competition horses. It also has benefits for equines with poor hoof condition, as well as performance horses thanks to its ability to minimise oxidative damage and inflammation, boosting muscle recovery time.
